Icon / Image Library in Dashboards

Steven Munsey

It would be great to have a widget type within Smartsheet dashboards that provides a library of selectable icons / imagery to enhance the look and feel of dashboards!

Yes! And add to the library with our own images and icons, as well.

Having a library of icons would help with the branding of programs within the enterprise.

So I have a template that I modify for projects, but I still find myself occasionally going back to the template and all the dashboards to update when I find something else that would be useful for users. This means re-uploading the image on each dashboard.

I agree that it would be nice to be able to link to a library icon. I thought that would be a great use for the library and was disappointed when I couldn't use the link on my dashboards. It would be great to be able to at least upload our themed visual cues for users (UI elements), that we have in our branded colors, and be able to easily reference them instead of uploading them from our drive each time we want to use them.

It seems a little clunky to copy-paste from one dashboard to the next when making refreshes of the UI, and I am only managing for one organization - I can't imagine the pain for PMO's doing this across branding.

That would be a cool feature! In the meantime, 2 ideas- 1 you could use Smartsheets public brandfolder for icons here https://brandfolder.com/smartsheet-brand-marketing/smartsheet-icons. To standardize navigational icons as an option.

Second- if you have a metric sheet and embed an image into a cell, you can point a (stacked) metric widget at that metric sheet and it will pull through that icon. You could then have many dashboards point at this metric sheet for your widgets. This allows you to change one sheet and have it populate on all the related dashboards. Hopefully that's helpful in the meantime!
